HAS BURGESS GONE WRONG? Report From Kemphis That Derby-Colt Wilt Be Turned Out.

Memphis. April 7. The fourteenth renewal of the Tennessee Derby will be run at Montgomery Park to-morrow, and tho Indications to-night are that the classic will be decided over a fast track. There nre ten carded starters, and the favorite will almost surely come from the Schorr stable, local turfman naming three probable starters, including Joe Froy, winner of the San Francisco Derby.

THIRTEEN SUNDAY GAMES. THE magnates of the Western Baseball Association finished their labors at the Louisville Hotel shortly after noon yesterday, and by night nearly all of them had returned to their respective homes, well pleased with Louisville and the business that was transacted.

The schedule was adopted about 4 o'clock yesterday morning, the magnates having been in session all the previous night. A number of changes were made, and the question of dates was finally arranged satisfactorily to all concerned. The schedule calls for 140 games for each club, the season to open Thursday, April 25. and to close September 22. Walter Wilmot.

owner of the Louisville franchise, must be possessed of extraordinary" hypnotic influence, for in the question of advantageous playing dales he was awarded neariy everything that was not nailed down. This is simply an indication that the magnates expect to give Louisville the best their association affords. According to the schedule adopted Louisville will open the season here April 25 with Indianapolis as an opponent, the Hoosier team playing here April 25, 26, 7 and 2 Thursday. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then the Louisville club jumps to Coiumbus, for four games.

April May 1, 2 and 3. The opening games are as follows: Indianapolis at Louisviiie. Columbus at Dayton. Marion at Grand Rapids. Fort Wayne at Tobdo.

LouisvillVs Holiday Dates. Louisville is at home July playing two garner with Indianapolis, the strongest attraction in the league. The Louisville club plays two games in Indianapoiis on Decoration Day, May 3 and two gams at the same place on Labor Dav. September 2. Thus it nil! be seen chat Manager Wii-niot got nearly ail the plums In the matter of holiday dates, as well as the chief opening attraction.

The Louisville club also drew the most satisfactory Sunday dates possible. The home club was awarded thirteen Sunday games at home and nine abroad, making a total of twenty-two good Sunday dates. The Louisviiie c'mb's schedule of Sunday games follows: SUNDAYS AT HOME. April 2S Indianapolis. May 2t Columbus.

June 2 Dayton. June it Grand Rapids. June 16 Toledo. June 23 Columbus. Juiy 7 Dayton.

July 2S Grand Rapids. August 4 Toledo. August 25 Indianapolis. September i Indianapolis. September 15 Fort Wayne.

September 22 Marlon. SUNDAYS ABROAD. May rv Dayton. May 12 Fort "Wayne. May lit Toledo.

June 30 Columbus. July Grand Rapids. July 21 Marion. August 11 Fort Wayne. August IS Grand Rapids.

September Columbus. Several imjortant items of business were transacted by the magnates yesterday. Each club deposited with President Meyer guarantee of jew, $100 of which goes to the association to defray expenses, and the other will he heid by the President as a sinking fund of forfeit money, which guarantee? that each club will live up to its contract and play the season Umpires to Be "Well Paid. The salaries of the umpires were fixed at per month each wirh railroad which brings their salaries up to about a month. The umpires appointed were Arlie Latham, Henry Gast right, McLaughlin and Joe Hornung.

It was also decided that each home club should guarantee the visiting club $5n a day for schedule days. Thus, if the Indianapolis club conies here for four garner and it rains on one day the Louisville club will owe Watkins $50, and if it rains four days the locals will owe him 52v0. This insures the. visiting clubs against loss in hotel bills, etc. The reserve rule adopted was the same as that in operation in the National League.

It was also decided that the captain of a visiting club shail have the right to select a substitute umpire If the regular umpire is prevented from officiating. One the laws adopted was thai pr cent, of the gross gate receipts of each game must be deducted and forwarded to President Meyer to defray the running expenses of the League, such as paying the salaries of umpires, and the remaining 9 per cent, of the receipts is to be equally divided between the home and visiting clubs. The agreement was signed for three years. Wilmot Well Pleased. Walter Wilmot.

the owner of the Louisville Club, was seen after the magnates had adopted the playing schedule. He said: "I am Immensely tickled at the treatment accorded me by the magnates. I was given better dates than I expected. The Schedule Committee was excessively liberal in the allotment of Sunday games for Louisville at home and also away from home. The schedule as framed and adopted is most favorable to me, and far exceeded my fondest hopes.

"The arrangement of the schedule Is evidence that all of the members of th Association are willing and ready to'at louisviiie as much as possible without Jeopardizing their own interests. All of them appreciate the fact tnat Louisville's -ucccss means the success of the Association. "With a most favorable schedul. giving me twmtv-two Sunday games, thirteen at home and nine abroad, also two garner at home on 4 with Indianapolis as the attraction. I cannot figure how I will sinter financially.

I look for a most successful sea-ou. "While the other owners have Chicago. Chi casta. Ai-ril 6.Ci':!---Rve:p: hnd: rcarke: nominally steady: prim me-: S3fl me-litim "-U-i srwker. and feeder." ibcut dy IJ.T.Vii-t ccw, J2.S'ir hrir-r? J2.WS4.,i3; sw at Ji-.

Connolly and Couhig both have but a few days more in which to fit themselves, but they are already in tine fettle, and were it necessary could enter tlw ring now in condition to put tip a good battle. At Connolly's quarters, Joe riehl's place, large crowd had gathered when he appeared at 3 o'clock to go hrough his nftf-rnoon's indoor work. He worked hard for neariy an hour, and showed no signs of being the least bit tired when he had finished.

Connolly is looked upon as a certainty to beat Couhig by those who Jive in the neigiiboriioo'j of DichJ's pla-e. At Couhig'? training quarters, which ire at Third and streets, in the neighborhood of fifty visitors were present when time for the afternoon's work was called.

Couhig showed "himself to be a nast-master at the.

Washington. April 7. Entries at Ben- Gaherip The Commander Siddons 'Bennett's entry. The 'lVnnesee Derby is worth alKUit J'V1 to the winner. A week ago upward of thirty animals were still eligible, and it was expected that about a doon would go to the post.

John K. Schorr is generally believe. i to have a mortgage on the race with Joe Frey. Alard Scheck and Lady Schorr, and he has said that three will go to the post. A race of representative animals at this early season is, however, liable to be full'vf surpnse, and the unexpected may happen.

In the past this race has furnished many sterling contests. Founded in it- was run over a mile and a hall, but in it waa reduced to a mile and an eighth, at which distance it remains. Tne lirst Derby was won by Ten Strike, a son ot" Ten Broeck; tho second by Joe Cotton, iwho afterward won the Kentucky Derby Jim Grey won the third. In race was scheduled, and over the shortened dLianco in lV, itobespierre won. Tnen came Vailera, Tom Linott.

Calhoun, Jamboree (wnen A as.al shouiu undoubtedlv have won), Fanaango, Ber-ciair, BucKvidere ibeating1 Typnoon 11. and Algol), nearly all ot whicii string oC winners did not afterward show the class of the horses then beaten by them in this race. Then came a change, and the winner was true to previous form with Lieber Karl in iSi'S and May Hempstead in but in ir-vO Florizar ranked a a practical outsider. It will, therefore, be seen that the re-FUlt is no foregone conclusion as a rule, no matter how rosy the "dope" record. This year may be anorher exception it may oi, and therein lies much of the attraction of this glorious sport.

However, outside of l1i Schorr bunch there does not seem to be a coit or filly In the race that classes with them. H. J. Scoggan, the Louisville turfman, who won the race In two years with Vailera and Florizar. will not be represented this year.

Senex Gloria, tho Scoggan candidate, received his trial In a race with selling-platers Thursday and the best he oouid do to remain in the rear of thirteen Inferior horses ail the way around tho course. Therefore the stars and stripes of his-stable will not be represented in the twenty-first renewal of the TemiLSsee classic. The deal for His Eminence, Frank Van Meter's Derby colt, will probably be closed to-day. Mr. J.

Kemper, who offered for horse, is expected to arriv here this morning from Chicago in order to close the deal. Mr. Kemper Louis ville for Chicago Saturday night, pro mis- I ing to return this morning. Meter, 1 as was stated in yesteriay's Courier-Journal, asks fur the coit. while Keni- j'cr's offer is The Chicago man is i very in love with His Emim-nee, and th'j 'nances are tiiat tiu- men will compromise this morning and the colt will change hands.

Yesterday was work day a.t Churclifll Downs, hut no work was -done by thoroughbreds because the track was not in enii.iitbm. The course was very nimbly i on account of the rains of the niitht before, and no trainer had the iit-rve to stud his charpes over it at a fast clip. Hart Gibson, the Iexington horseman, firrivc'l at the Downs yesterday from the blueprass with nine head, and John Rod-. -gap will get in thin morning with fourteen h'-ad. which include the jjood handicap liorsc.

Many of the trainers who are racing at Memphis, however, will ship to St. IOuis and race over the Fair Grounds track in that city. Alard Scheck will be the Schorr stable's representative In tho Kentucky Derby. He is being pointed for that event and George Walker has been instructed to prepare the black son of Hindoo.

It was originally intended to save Scheck for the American Derby, but the elder Schorr, who still directs the policy, campaign ana about everything else connected with the management of the establishment regardless of the supposition that he has retired in favor of his son, believes in the. old adago of a bird In the hand, etc. The meeting at Memphis has h-r-n uneventful, beyond the ur.ceve rf several wo-year-oids of more than pfiSEin The running of the Gaston Hotel Stakes during last week was the means of discovering one of the stars of tho Sehqrr youngsters.

While the burst of sptcd that Mever dis Idayed was dazzling, it is a welf-knoWn fact that mere are two colts tV. sani b.irn thot iiave her-n 'mfworkin i.reiindnary trials Ma.i.

Tenny. a hav coil by Tenny Jios. and I.nrry Young a by Potomac Princess have shown better work, and JUorsemen here are waiting to see i' these colts fulfill expectations in their actual racing struggles. For the first time in twenty-two years for the first time since he and his brother Mike bought old Rhadatnanthus from the elder August Belmont Phil Dwyer has not a race horse in training. Saturday Mr.

Dwyer sold his entire stable, consisting of tiee two-year-olds, to Gen. Mc-Lewee, who is building tip a stable. The transaction really was closed Thursday night, but It was not until Saturday that Trainer Frank MeCabe, who has been with Mr. Dwyer these many years, learned that he was to lose every horse in the stable. Then he was that the Dwyer horses were to he transferred to the stable of Gen.

McLe-wee's trainer. Matt Allen. Although no announcement has been made concerning the amount paid for the live two-year-olds, it is said the price was close to Two of these young race horsey were highly prized by their owner and Trainer MeCabe the bay colt Luck and Chanty, by Hanover Bonlt a and the black colt Major Danger-field, by Handspring Mon Droit. Luck and Charity is a haif brother to Richard Croker's Beau Gallant, who won the rich Matron Stakes at Morris Park last fail. Graveseud trainers say that Luck and Charity and Major Dangerfield are two of the most promising colts ever seen at.

the track. The other two-year-olds sold by Mr. Dwyer are the bay colt Empire, by St. Carlo Pique the brown colt Hindred, by Hanover Mildred, and the brown colt Horizontal, by Handspring Intermission. For the first time in more than a score of years, for the first tlm? since he set out on a turf career, Phil Dwyer's stable is empty.

With the racing season fairly under way some of the candidates for the American Derby have already gone to the. post and pi yen a glimpse of their three-yea r-id development, while others have had workouts that were made public. Few of the prominent candidates, however, have done enough to furnish any satisfactory line on their condition. Garry Herrmann lias had slow work at Churchill Downs and Alard Scheck' race last Tuesday at was disappointing. None of the other prominent candidates has appeared In public.

Among the longer-priced candidates Joe Frey is prominent. The victories of this colt on the 'altfornia tracks are well known. He showed himself to be superior to any of the other candidates for the Derby who wintered there, and among them are Articulate, Brutal, Canmore, Golden Age and Ormonde. Joe Frey may. after all, bo the best nf the Schorr colts.

Attracting fully as much attention as Joe Frey just at present is Robert Wad-dell. This colt Virginia Bradley's Iron Horse No. 3. No. 1.

it will he remembered, P.iitzcn: No. 2 was Bonny Boy, and it has now fallen to the lot of Robert Ynd-d. II so follow in their footsteps. Robert Wadnel! started out at I to 1 in the winter itnnks. but his price was gradually pounded down until 30 to 1 is now the b-st offered bv one of the local books, while; the other one offers only 20 to 1.

af'T the pikers have studied over Robert Wadd ell's good race at Bcnnlngs on they are likely to pound him down a little lower. In this race he beat veiling plater sprinters of fair quality in the easiest fashion nt six furlongs, and th" colt is hi- best over a distance of ground. Thf-re can be no denying that Pnbert Waddell is quite a factor for the big race. However, he is likely to run j'bmt KiO races between now and Derby dav. and there will be plenty of oppor-tufutv to learn everything about him except the limit of his endurance.

Very high opinions are held of the California two-year-olds, and Sister Jeannie is esteemed the best filly, while Cunard in the colt. Sister Jeannie was bred at the Rancho 1 Paso, so, too. was Cunard, who is described as a grand looking animal which will be raced on the metropolitan tracks by Green B. Morris, and was sired by Imp. Goldfinch, out of Lu-cania.

by Sir Mod red. Sir Mcdrod was inbred lu three removes to Touchstone, and a return strain of Touchstone comes In again through Thistle. Goldfinch is also inbrc 1 to Pantaloon, he being the sire of The IJbel. grandslre of Sir Modred; also the sire of Macaroni's dam. Macaroni being tho Fire of Lilly Agnes, the dam of Ormonde, the sire of Goldfinch.

Schoolgirl. Lucania's dam. was inbred to Lexington, she being by Pat Malloy, son of Lexington, her dam Gieuine, the dam of Troubadour; next dam Lute, by Lexington. Through Glenulne. his great-grand-dam.

bv Imp. Glenelg, he gets another cros of Touchstone, making four in all, a well as two crosses of Stoekwelt, the grandsire of Glenelg. and the other cross of Stockwell. through Goldfinch, he Is also strongly inbred to Blachlock. On such breeding he should be able to thold his own with the best of them.

"Father R1U" Daly should have a. sign on his stable end of "Jockeys mad to order." He claims to have four good new ones this season, four apprentices, who. he are "the best he ever had his life." Daly schooled such a McLaughlin, Garrison and Palmer in the old days, and in later years Maher. O'Connor and Slack. He Is more successful with jockeys than horses for several v-nrs nasi, and Maher, O'Connor and Shic'i: have good contracts for this season.

This not Miles and Bren-nan. 'Veer? appears a probability that Jockey Thorpe may ride this season for Sam ITIldreth. This boy is an artist, and should be secured for some Eastern stable of prominence. In 1900 he won 25 racep In 127 mounts; In 1S99 he won 116 in 76S races, and In 1P9S he won 209 In 761. This is a metropolitan average.

THE Pirates continue to howl against the new foul-ball rule. "Swift games." said Hans Wagner; "why, all we do now is to get on the field, swing at the ball, hear the umpire yi and the game is over. No man can fool hi wife this summer for 'blaming the- ball game for a late arrival home for supper; it's going to be automobile ball this year." All the twiriers smile as they hear the other players using swear words over the foul strike rule. aiARVTJSJ- HART AN ACTOR. Joins a Burlesque Troupe at SI 00 a "Week for Three Months.

An' I'il put you next for a small amount. An' you'll see how that horse will run." So the fool he listened, his heart was glad (Even as yours has been), And he placed a ten (which was all he had) At 20 to 1 on the horse that the -lad Had touted, and said: "This isn't a bad Investment for a ten." "There ain't never been a race liorsc born" (He listened, as you and I) "Can run In the mud like the horse you are on; He takes to the mud like a hog to corn.

An' your money's as good as won." They're off!

Till the buneh down the home stretch came. And it wasn't the loss, and it wasn't the horse.
